This isn't an ensemble comedy, it's the Sacha Bron Cohen show. That is until Cohen runs into the scene with gun and mouth blazing.ĭespite the presence of other comedians in the film, including British comics Johnny Vegas and Ricky Tomlinson in small parts, and even Cohen's real life wife Isla Fisher, Cohen keeps almost all of the jokes to himself.
Mark Strong makes a believable spy and some of the gun battles and fist fights are filmed almost straight. His experience brings a slight edge to the action. Rather surprisingly the film is directed by Louis Leterrier, best known for his action films like the first two Transporter films and Edward Norton's The Incredible Hulk. The longer you extend the scene the weaker the joke becomes. Moments like this rely strictly on their shock value to elicit laughs and shock humor works best in small doses. And no, it's not hinted or insinuated that Nobby is being hit, we are shown explicitly, over and over again Sebastian's nuts touching Nobby's face. The audience is slapped repeatedly in the face, much in the same way that Nobby is slapped in the face by Sebastian's testicles when Nobby is forced to suck poison from them. And when that's not enough, it turns into a long line of elephants doing the same thing. Cohen never knows when to stop a joke, pushing it as far as it should go and then pushing it even further, much like the elephant penises being pushed into the elephant vagina within which Nobby and Sebastian hide at one point in the story. The film runs just an hour and twenty-five minutes, but even at that relatively short running time feels stretched. When Nobby hears from a friend that his brother has been spotted in London, he runs to be by his side only to discover that Sebastian (Mark Strong) is actually a secret agent on an important mission to prevent an act of terrorism. It also extends to Sebastian, his younger brother, who he hasn't seen since he was adopted by a wealthy family from London. Despite his repulsive personal habits, Nobby is intensely loyal to his family, which includes his wife, played by Rebel Wilson, and their many children.

Cohen seems more suited to sketch comedy than full length films, at least in the ones he writes himself.Ĭohen plays the aforementioned Nobby, a football hooligan from the English town of Grimsby. There are a few genuinely funny moments and with Nobby, he's created another memorable character, but it takes more than a single character to make a good movie. The Brothers Grimsby, for which he both co-wrote and stars, is a great example of this. Sacha Baron Cohen has proven that he can be funny, but he's yet to prove that he can make a good movie. Sebastian also happens to be MI6's most lethal assassin and, as fate would have it, he ends up needing the help of his estranged brother to save the world.Sacha Baron Cohen in The Brothers Grimsby. Wilson plays girlfriend to Sacha Baron Cohen's Nobby, who seeks to reunite with his brother Sebastian (Mark Strong). Rebel Wilson's latest on screen adventure casts her as Dawn Grobham in The Brothers Grimsby. "There's so many glamorous people in Hollywood I just never want to compete with that. "I've always tried to use my brain to get places," Ms. Wilson says she wants no part of people who forsake the importance of intelligence and sensibility. Rebel isn't a big fan of Hollywood, or of the lifestyles she sees parading around town, because everyone seems to be more interested in style and appearance than in intelligence. I'm trying to put it out there, but I don't know whether the right person is in Hollywood - you only meet actors or musicians here." "I don't want to settle for someone if they're not right but, because I get to do such awesome fun stuff all the time, I really want to share that with somebody," says Ms.
